Abstract

The present invention is for shaping a packet time out threshold in a wireless telecommunications network including a TCP session. First, a TCP communications session ( ) is identified during which first and second communications nodes ( ) communicate with one another by transmitting and receiving data packets across first and second channels ( ) of a wireless network ( ). Next, a processor ( ) located either in one of the communications nodes ( ) or in a network base station subsystem ( ) determines delay characteristics of each of first and second channels ( ) of the communications session. Once the delay characteristics are determined, the processor ( ) causes a delay packet to be transmitted on a slower of the first and second channels ( ) at predetermined intervals to increase an average time delay associated with both the first and second channels ( ). Consequently, the number of unnecessary packet time outs on the first and second channels ( ) is minimized.
